Computation was extremely expensive back then. Was it typically financially beneficial?

What? Increase price to lower demand so they have a lower market share than they do now so they can have a higher market share later?

It's truly deplorable what ICE is doing. Many people fret about what ICE is doing (including myself at times) to a degree that is absolutely debilitating. I think the point here — though OP has stated it in a deeply awkward and arguabl

It depends on the person I guess. Sometimes you're stuck with a poorly defined project that you don't believe in and there's no one to really validate your work. Leads to a feeling of meaninglessness and purposelessness and t

Yeah. I mean this more as a thought experiment as it's not even really feasible technically (how would you ensure someone is where they said they were).

Imagine, if you will, that this law was applied to Facebook, Twitter, etc. That you could only see content produced within some number of miles. Without Having so much reach, I wonder if we could devise a system that returns to amplifying l

Definitely, I agree that they may have been invalid claims and that screwups do happen. What concerns me is that may have been Tripp was truly sincere if not misguided. Tesla's 100 million dollar lawsuit, however, sends a chilling mess

This is a reasonable, yet generous reading of the situation. But the situation stinks. Tripp raised what seemed to be sincere concerns, yet was retaliated against by Tesla in an exceedingly heavy-handed manner. Tesla's current claim is

That's fair. I can see why you felt that way. The headline of the article did imply that the founders were going after Intel/AMD, when in fact the likely outcome is more modest in scope.

It's distressing that every time something negative about Tesla comes out, there is a knee-jerk reaction like "this is merely a ploy to manipulate the stock or destroy the company." Yes, news agencies are often wrong. And yes

It's possible that the end goal is acquisition or an aquihire-like situation. Even if that's the goal, it could be pretty cool — they may get to the point where they build a team that can execute and build chips with different des

I think that's right. Tangentially related: have been thinking a lot lately how tone often (but not always) implies some kind of distortion in thinking. To a degree where you can _anticipate_, but not necessarily intelligently articula

You have a pretty negative take. There are fewer software engineers with the skills you mention. But it's kind of the wrong question. Without these skills, individuals are still capable of offering tremendous value to tech companies. I

Yikes, this is incredibly cynical.

I find it amusing that, in a comments section that is generally irritated with Google about product shutdowns, there are also complaints that some of the products _suck_.

I bought a MBP 15" around the time of the fall keynote because the 16" was not announced. Does anyone know how I can replace it with a 16"? The keyboard really is driving me nuts.

I think it's ok to call this AI, but I agree that it's a little misleading. I think a better way to describe much of AI these days is pattern recognition. Incredible pattern recognition, to be clear, but pattern recognition. Agree

Some questions not addressed by the article: * what is the input to the model? It sounds like it's EEG, but how practical is it to collect those data on a day-to-day basis? * how far ahead of time are seizures predicted? In other words

Note: this doesn't mean that Vitamin D and Omega-3s don't have anti-inflammatory properties. It merely shows that inflammation biomarkers are reduced. For example, aspirin is anti-inflammatory, yet is thought to have negligible ef

Organic certifiers have differing standards. Given the continued demand for organic — even Walmart is bullish on it these days — unscrupulous certifiers like the USDA will cut corners. In response, great certifiers like CCOF ( https:/&

I wonder if this means that something about the measles virus could be useful for knocking out "immune memory" for autoimmune issues.
